Are you considering an abortion pill?
Ending a pregnancy with an abortion pill is not a simple procedure. While you can take the medication at home, it forces a miscarriage and can be painful. It may not even be necessary if the pregnancy is not developing.
Whatever you do, don’t buy abortion pills online or try home remedies for abortion as these are not FDA approved and can be dangerous. Before you spend the money on an abortion pill appointment at an abortion clinic, find out if you actually have a developing pregnancy and are not too far along for an abortion pill procedure, which can only be done in early pregnancy.

What's the difference between the abortion pill and Plan B?
Plan B is a type of emergency birth control (contraception) that temporarily delays the release of an egg from the ovary, so there’s no egg to meet the sperm. No egg, no fertilization, no pregnancy.
The Abortion Pill is a chemical abortion, which consists of two medications. Could we link our blog on this somewhere here?
How does the abortion pill work?
The first medication, mifepristone, stops the pregnancy from growing and the second medication, misoprostol, expels the pregnancy tissue from the woman’s uterus.In short, misoprostol induces early labor.
What is the process for taking an abortion pill?
Mifepristone is given first. It binds to the receptor meant for progesterone, a hormone essential for a healthy pregnancy. Therefore nutrients and other essentials for the baby’s development are not able to get to the baby causing the baby to die. Then misoprostol is taken, this pill induces contractions of the uterus expelling baby and any other pregnancy related tissues in the uterus.
Is it painful to take an abortion pill?
An abortion is similar to a miscarriage. Someone who has taken the abortion pill may typically experience these symptoms:
- Severe abdominal pain or cramping
- Bleeding or severe spotting
- Discharge of tissue or fluid
These symptoms may occur for 9-16 days. However, approximately 8% of women may experience bleeding for 30 days or more. If the abortion is not entirely successful, additional medication or a surgical abortion will be required.
Can I change my mind after taking the first abortion pill?
Yes. There have been successful reversals when treatment was starting within 72 hours of taking the first abortion pill. To take the abortion reversal pill, you can go to Abortion Pill Rescue.
Can I get an abortion pill over the counter (OTC)?
No. You cannot get the abortion pill over the counter. A physician must prescribe it. Additionally, the FDA warns against purchasing online abortion-inducing drugs because this puts the woman at risk of taking a drug that the FDA has not approved.
Do I need a doctor's prescription to get an abortion pill?
Yes. The abortion pill is potent, so the FDA requires a physician or certified health professional to prescribe the pill in person after pregnancy verification. When you order the abortion pill online, you skip the pregnancy verification and prescription process, which puts you and your health at risk.
Can I Get the Abortion Pill by Mail?
While you can order the abortion pill online and have it delivered to your house, it’s incredibly risky.
While searching, you may come across sites that claim to deliver the abortion pill by mail. Oftentimes, these providers are located overseas and the pills they provide are not FDA-approved. Currently, it’s illegal to purchase Mifeprex online. The FDA requires the abortion pill to be prescribed and dispensed under the supervision of a qualified physician for your safety.
Aside from that, it’s crucial to be in touch with a prescribing physician if complications arise.
You may experience severe abdominal cramping, nausea, and heavy bleeding after taking the abortion pill. You will need a licensed healthcare provider to confirm whether the procedure was successful or if an infection is developing.
Does the abortion pill cost the same as a surgical abortion?
No. The abortion pill costs between $320-$850. A surgical abortion costs between $1,000-$2,000 or more. An ultrasound determines which options you have. To learn more click here.
